This pattern was already well written and easy to follow going into the testing phase. I enjoyed the pattern so much that I made two beanies! The designer was great to work with, too.<br />

Next up are these lovely mittens:<br />

These were nice to knit and the pattern was easy to follow. Bobbles (on the wrist section) were new to me and a little tricky at first, but add such nice detail! After a few rounds I had the pattern down and it was rather relaxing. </div>

I'm also working on another tester beanie with a neat stitch pattern called the <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/litlckrets/twinkle-toque-tester">Twinkle Toque</a>. Catherine of <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/people/smallbirdworkshop">Smallbirdworkshop</a> is the creator of this and many other beautiful patterns and <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/smallbirdworkshop">yarn</a>, too. As for this hat, I have quite a bit of knitting left to do. My only dislike is that it calls for using thin yarn, so it's a much slower knit for me than usual. My yarn choice...<br />

Remember the Night Tribe Beanie from above? Well, that designer has another great pattern up for testing right now called the <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/litlckrets/spiral-slouch-beanie-tester">Spiral Slouch Beanie</a>.<br />

This was a fun knit! This hat was very quick and easy to create and looks great. I hope to test for her again in the future! You can check out more of her work on instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/unwind_knitwear/">unwind_knitwear.</a><br />

I'm blown away by the generosity of people willing to give away their patterns! Many of the items here were made using free patterns. Check out my Ravelry project page to see more items I've made from free (and paid) patterns: <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/litlckrets?set=&columns=&view=thumbnail&page=&sort=status%20completed_%20status_changed_&search=">Stephanie's Projects</a>.<br />

For the holidays, I whipped up several <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/TatianasCorner?section_id=20682082">drawstring bags /reusable gift bags</a> (also great for cosmetics and toiletries when you're traveling) to sell. <br />

I'd love to try hand lettering so I can add it to my scrapbook pages. I stumbled upon the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0KXyff9iw121ji9kTxAh2w">How to Hand Letter YouTube channel</a> and <a href="https://www.howtohandletter.com/">website</a>. She offers LOTS of useful on her channel, and even sells worksheets for beginners in her <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/609162089/digital-download-simplified-lettering?ref=shop_home_active_1">Etsy shop</a>.<br />

This kit includes some other goodies to get you started creating mixed media art. They are in what looks like Chapstick containers, and have a creamy texture. You can color with them like crayons, and even add water for a watercolor effect. They can be used in many ways, so search for Gelatos techniques on youtube if you're interested. They can be purchased at Scrapbook.com, Michaels, in sets at Hobby Lobby, and various other stores.<br />
<br />
Rub-ons (like <a href="https://www.scrapbook.com/store/ac-346437.html?w=rub+ons">these</a>, <a href="https://www.hobbylobby.com/Scrapbook-Paper-Crafts/Embellishments/Rub-Ons/Black-Script-Alphabet-Rub-Ons/p/80838623">these</a>, and <a href="http://www.michaels.com/watercolor-rub-on-stickers-by-recollections/10499426.html#q=rub+on&start=11">these</a>) <br />

They are like stickers, but I prefer the look of rub-ons. The letters are really handy, because you can create words/phrases by cutting out the individual letters you need. To apply them, you use a popsicle stick to rub them onto your scrapbook paper. They can also be placed over photos. (There are even rub-ons that resist Gelatos, distress inks, etc. so you can create cool effects with them.)<br />
<br />
For stamping, I think a good cleaner and stamp cleaning pad are a must. I used to own a <a href="https://www.hobbylobby.com/search/?text=rub+it+scrub+it&quickview=13515">Rub It Scrub It Pad</a>.<br />

It does a great job of removing ink from recessed areas on stamps. (I have a different pad that I don't like as much right now, but plan to replace with this kind eventually.) If you use Archival Ink, then <a href="https://www.scrapbook.com/store/ri-ink58939.html?w=stamp+cleaner">Archival Ink Remover</a> is a good choice. (Some other types of ink are water soluble and much easier to remove.)<br />

I've had pictures printed and ready to go for a few years (eek).<br />
<br />

I create scrapbooks in chronological order, and am working on 2012. That's the year my mom passed, so it's been a hard one to create. Yet I'm reminded of so many wonderful memories even from that year. Despite her health, she was happy and smiling and enjoying life until she just couldn't anymore. I miss her so much.<br />
<br />
And here's a page I made for my friend, Tanya. We've know each other since 2000. I'm so blessed to have her in my life!<br />

Wow, some of the products have changed since I last worked on our memory books. Some of my new favorite products are:<br />
<a href="https://www.scrapbook.com/store/products/?w=distress+oxide+ink">Distress Oxide Ink Pads</a><br />
Fun <a href="https://www.scrapbook.com/store/products/?w=stencils">stencils </a>and <a href="https://www.scrapbook.com/store/sub-cat/acrylic+stamps-stamping.html">stamps</a><br />
<a href="https://www.scrapbook.com/store/products/?w=nuvo+drops">Nuvo drops</a><br />
<br />
And I've always enjoyed working with paper flowers, embossing powder, rub-ons, and lots of fun brads and eyelets. We're lucky to live near an amazing store called Affordable Scrapbooks. If you don't have a local store, make sure to check out Scrapbook.com!<br />

A local artist recently caught my eye on Facebook. "Located way up high in beautiful Colorado, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/StaciaMannArt">Stacia Mann Art</a> creates
unique mixed media pieces, influenced by the beauty of the Rocky
Mountain region." I adore many of her prints. Check out these beauties from her <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/StaciaMannArt?section_id=24176000">Home Town Series</a>...<br />

This is my medium pouch at 9.25"wide x 7.5" tall. These are great for holding cosmetics, toiletries, art supplies, sewing supplies, or all that loose stuff that gets lost in the bottom of your purse. I have several made and ready to ship in the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/TatianasCorner?section_id=20682082">POUCH SECTION</a> of our shop, or a custom order can be requested!<br />

My friend and I went to a small pop-up market near our homes this weekend. We were there to scope it out and see if we might want to participate next year. I was delighted to find a seller with map-themed jewelry, bookmarks, magnets, and more. The owner was really friendly and shared that she has a background in mapmaking (and welcomes custom orders). How creative and cool! She also sells on Etsy, so make sure to check out her shop! I purchased a few Colorado themed items. And though I haven't traveled to London, I was still tempted to purchase <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/518558412/london-england-map-necklace-with-charms?ref=shop_home_active_72">this necklace</a>...<br />

I love her handcrafted greeting cards (and more) and she loves the items I sew. Perhaps that's why I have a box full of lovely handmade greeting cards, and why she persuaded me to join <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/TatianasCorner">her Etsy shop</a>?<br />

She recently asked me to make a few mini messenger bags. (Quilts Illustrated pattern <span style="color: #85755f; font-family: inherit; font-size: 18px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.quiltsillustrated.com/shop/Quiltsillustrated-Patterns/p/ps010-Mini-Messenger-sku-ps010.htm">ps010 Mini Messenger</a></span><span style="color: #85755f; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 18px; text-align: center;">) </span>I really like making these for a few reasons:<br />
1) they don't use much fabric (you can even use up a lot of small scraps for the front flap)<br />
2) they are REALLY easy (and would be great for a beginner)<br />
3) they are quick<br />
(plus it's fun to make something pretty and useful for a friend)<br />
<br />
That's my kind of project! I really love how they turned out... especially this book themed bag:<br />

The inside fabric is amazing! It looks like old library book check out cards. So cool!<br />
<br />
<br />
The fabric for the second bag is very pretty, with a vintage feel. I love the contrast of the dark exterior to the light interior.<br />

But I have named it the Never Again Bag. Due to the foam interfacing that gives it structure, the final step of sewing it all together was a nightmare for me. And somewhere along the way, I didn't make sure the top zipper opened from the same side as the handle. At least I got the front zipper right.<br />

Not all sewing projects go as planned. I'm just glad I didn't already cut fabric for 3 more of these like I had planned. I now have a new process for trying new patterns. Cut out fabric for and make just ONE the first time. Then, if things go smoothly, make multiples. It only took me 10 years of sewing to come up with this great idea. Ha!<br />
<br />
Here's a close-up of the interior fabric. I adore it! I found only a few fat quarters of it at JoAnn. I've been told they don't sell the same prints by the yard. Bummer! <br />

One of my sisters is due with a baby girl soon. When I heard that she likes dinosaurs (but they would need to be girly), I was a little worried. Luckily, <a href="https://www.joann.com/">JOANN</a> does have a few fabrics from which to choose (<a href="https://www.joann.com/novelty-cotton-fabric-43in-girl-dinosaur/15392483.html#q=dinosaur&prefn1=prod_type&prefv1=Product&start=1">here</a> and <a href="https://www.joann.com/novelty-cotton-fabric-43in-lacey-dinos-flowers/15567050.html#q=dinosaur&prefn1=prod_type&prefv1=Product&start=1">here</a>). I got to work creating this little set that I
hope she finds handy! <br />

Not long ago, I stumbled upon the <a href="https://noodle-head.com/product/petal-pouch-pdf-pattern">Petal Pouch pattern</a> from <a href="https://noodle-head.com/">Noodle-head</a> . I really like the shape of it and the look of the metal zipper. It was my first time sewing with this type of zipper, and wasn't a problem at all. This pattern is a bit tricky in spots, but would still be good for a beginner willing to go slowly and carefully follow the directions. Plus, it's a quick project!<br />

They sell zippers of just about every color, length, and type... plus other goodies like <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/466119143/wooden-buttons-cassette-tape-8pcs-wood?ref=shop_home_active_1">these amazing wooden buttons</a>! I'm always impressed with their customer service and pricing. <br />

I recently ordered fabric from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/SewPerfectlyVintage">Sew Perfectly Vintage</a> on Etsy. Her store is full of great fabric prints, precuts, and patterns. I was really pleased with her quick responses to my messages and overall customer service. She is offering 20% off in her shop through June!<br />
<br />
<br />
In addition to paid classes, Crafty also features quite a few free patterns. I made this cute <a href="https://www.craftsy.com/sewing/patterns/phoebe-bag/204430">Phoebe Bag</a> years ago. It's an easy pattern that's great for beginners. Thanks to <a href="http://www.rebekalambert.com/artsycrafty_babe/">artsy-craftsy babe</a> for generously sharing her pattern free of charge!<br />
